Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Geology] From California State University

The Bachelor of Science in Geology prepares students for employment in petroleum geology, mineral exploration, land-use planning, environmental assessment, hydrology, and engineering geology, or for teaching earth science or physical science at the secondary level. The Master of Science program provides a graduate degree for students who want to work in industry or government on the professional level, for students who want to teach earth science in junior college, or for students who wish to pursue further graduate study.

The applied geology option specializes in engineering geology, hydrogeology, or exploration geology fields, which have the strongest employment potential.
